Just had a dozen strawberry plants delivered from a well known seed and plant firm.They are bare root, is it safe to put them in the garden now??

    Did they send you any instructions/guidance?

    I would pot them up in flower pots, give them a drink, and if possible put in cool greenhouse/conservatory/mini greenhouse until the weather warms up a bit.  Established ones overwinter quite happily but these have probably been in a greenhouse/poly tunnel before being despatched.
